In the geologic timescale, the Anisian is the lower stage or earliest age of the Middle Triassic series or epoch and lasted from 247.2 million years ago until ~242 million years ago. The Anisian age succeeds the Olenekian age (part of the Lower Triassic epoch) and precedes the Ladinian age.
The stage and its name were established by Austrian geologists Wilhelm Heinrich Waagen and Carl Diener in 1895. The name comes from Anisus, the Latin name of the river Enns. The original type locality is at Großreifling in the Austrian state of Styria.
The base of the Anisian stage (also the base of the Middle Triassic series) is sometimes laid at the first appearance of conodont species Chiosella timorensis in the stratigraphic record. Other stratigraphers prefer to use the base of magnetic chronozone MT1n. The global reference profile for the base (the GSSP or golden spike) is at a flank of the mountain Deşli Caira in the Romanian Dobruja.
The top of the Anisian (the base of the Ladinian) is at the first appearance of ammonite species Eoprotrachyceras curionii and the ammonite family Trachyceratidae. The conodont species Neogondolella praehungarica appears at the same level.
(Break Away) IT consumes your life
Everything you do revolves around it
Is this a privilege or a disaster?
(Break Away)
What once was true
Now seems that it’s fucking foul
Are we closing in on the final hour?
A once red hot flame
Seems to smolder away
So do we carry on
Or watch it slip away
So Break Away- Or see it through
Snap the chains
Is this what we should do
So break away 0 or see it through
Snap the chains
Don’t know what’s wrong
Or what’s right
Day in day out
The sacrifice is immeasurable
The lengths to which
You’ve gone to make this work
Will never be understood
It’s so funny how you can feel on top
Of the world one minute
And want this dead and gone the next
Now let fate take it’s course
You would give your life just to have it all
Can you see
The writing on the wall
Is this what you deserve
For all you have given
Is the end near
Or has paranoia set in
So break away – or see it through
Snap the chains
Is what you should do
So break away – or see it through
Snap the chains
Don’t know what’s wrong
Or what’s right
My vision is so hazy tonight
My minds been diluted with hate
Help me escape
Hey hey
Do you think that this is the end
It seems like that this is the end
So break away – or see it through
Snap the chains
Is that what we should do
So break away – or see it through
Snap the chains
Don’t know what’s wrong
Or what’s right
My minds been diluted with hate
